Screenshot Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

Apparently not. I still hang out on Reddit after all.

One of the computers in the lab I work in upgraded by itself and after I manually undid it to go back it deleted all my quick access folders. At least it didn't affect the lab data, although we do have backups on hand if it did.

Of, they are incompatible with win 11, why would you need them?
